Hawaii is my favorite place in the world. I love the smell, colors, warmth and aloha spirit. This old boat was photographed by my mother many many years ago. It just begged for me to put it into a painting. What I loved about this fishing boat was it's old weathered look.

The original size is 18x24 and hangs in a private collection in Maui.
